Performing k-space variable density sampling is a popular way of reducing scanning time in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Unfortunately, given a sampling trajectory, it is not clear how to traverse it using gradient waveforms. In this paper, we actually show that existing methods [1, 2] can yield large traversal time if the trajectory contains high curvature areas. Therefore, we consider here a new method for gradient waveform design which is based on the projection of unrealistic initial trajectory onto the set of hardware constraints. Next, we show on realistic simulations that this algorithm allows implementing variable density trajectories resulting from the piecewise linear solution of the Travelling Salesman Problem in a reasonable time. Finally, we demonstrate the application of this approach to 2D MRI reconstruction and 3D angiography in the mouse brain.

Marker-less 3D human motion capture from a single colour camera has seen significant progress. However, it is a very challenging and severely ill-posed problem. In consequence, even the most accurate state-of-the-art approaches have significant limit
ations. Purely kinematic formulations on the basis of individual joints or skeletons, and the frequent frame-wise reconstruction in state-of-the-art methods greatly limit 3D accuracy and temporal stability compared to multi-view or marker-based motion capture. Further, captured 3D poses are often physically incorrect and biomechanically implausible, or exhibit implausible environment interactions (floor penetration, foot skating, unnatural body leaning and strong shifting in depth), which is problematic for any use case in computer graphics. We, therefore, present PhysCap, the first algorithm for physically plausible, real-time and marker-less human 3D motion capture with a single colour camera at 25 fps. Our algorithm first captures 3D human poses purely kinematically. To this end, a CNN infers 2D and 3D joint positions, and subsequently, an inverse kinematics step finds space-time coherent joint angles and global 3D pose. Next, these kinematic reconstructions are used as constraints in a real-time physics-based pose optimiser that accounts for environment constraints (e.g., collision handling and floor placement), gravity, and biophysical plausibility of human postures. Our approach employs a combination of ground reaction force and residual force for plausible root control, and uses a trained neural network to detect foot contact events in images. Our method captures physically plausible and temporally stable global 3D human motion, without physically implausible postures, floor penetrations or foot skating, from video in real time and in general scenes.

We propose an extended primal-dual algorithm framework for solving a general nonconvex optimization model. This work is motivated by image reconstruction problems in a class of nonlinear imaging, where the forward operator can be formulated as a nonl
inear convex function with respect to the reconstructed image. Using the proposed framework, we put forward six specific iterative schemes, and present their detailed mathematical explanation. We also establish the relationship to existing algorithms. Moreover, under proper assumptions, we analyze the convergence of the schemes for the general model when the optimal dual variable regarding the nonlinear operator is non-vanishing. As a representative, the image reconstruction for spectral computed tomography is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm framework. By special properties of the concrete problem, we further prove the convergence of these customized schemes when the optimal dual variable regarding the nonlinear operator is vanishing. Finally, the numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm has good performance on image reconstruction for various data with non-standard scanning configuration.
Multi-contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisitions from a single scan have tremendous potential to streamline exams and reduce imaging time. However, maintaining clinically feasible scan time necessitates significant undersampling, pushing
the limits on compressed sensing and other low-dimensional techniques. During MRI scanning, one of the possible solutions is by using undersampling designs which can effectively improve the acquisition and achieve higher reconstruction accuracy. However, existing undersampling optimization methods are time-consuming and the limited performance prevents their clinical applications. In this paper, we proposed an improved undersampling trajectory optimization scheme to generate an optimized trajectory within seconds and apply it to subsequent multi-contrast MRI datasets on a per-subject basis, where we named it OUTCOMES. By using a data-driven method combined with improved algorithm design, GPU acceleration, and more efficient computation, the proposed method can optimize a trajectory within 5-10 seconds and achieve 30%-50% reconstruction improvement with the same acquisition cost, which makes real-time under-sampling optimization possible for clinical applications.
All hand-object interaction is controlled by forces that the two bodies exert on each other, but little work has been done in modeling these underlying forces when doing pose and contact estimation from RGB/RGB-D data. Given the pose of the hand and
object from any pose estimation system, we propose an end-to-end differentiable model that refines pose estimates by learning the forces experienced by the object at each vertex in its mesh. By matching the learned net force to an estimate of net force based on finite differences of position, this model is able to find forces that accurately describe the movement of the object, while resolving issues like mesh interpenetration and lack of contact. Evaluating on the ContactPose dataset, we show this model successfully corrects poses and finds contact maps that better match the ground truth, despite not using any RGB or depth image data.
We study the convergence issue for the gradient algorithm (employing general step sizes) for optimization problems on general Riemannian manifolds (without curvature constraints). Under the assumption of the local convexity/quasi-convexity (resp. wea
k sharp minima), local/global convergence (resp. linear convergence) results are established. As an application, the linear convergence properties of the gradient algorithm employing the constant step sizes and the Armijo step sizes for finding the Riemannian $L^p$ ($pin[1,+infty)$) centers of mass are explored, respectively, which in particular extend and/or improve the corresponding results in cite{Afsari2013}.
